The ReadOrListen podcast has posted their latest episode featuring the reading of a new article by Jesse Schutt about using Laravel Audit to evaluate the current state of a Laravel-based codebase (read by Jack Fruh).

Recently the Zaengle team was asked to look over an existing Laravel application and give a review of the overall state of the code. We were to act as an independent third party, between a new studio who had inherited the codebase, and the client, who was anticipating launching the product.

One of the things I've been tinkering with these last few days is a mechanism for performing Russian-Doll caching in Laravel. In addition to determining if I can even make it work, I've been pondering whether this truly has a place in your future projects, or if there simply isn't enough value to warrant its usage. Who knows - let's talk about it.

The Full Stack Radio podcast has released their latest episode: Episode #14, "Taylor Otwell - Building Envoyer, Laravel 5.1 and Learning to Program".

In this episode, Jeff and Matt talk about some things they have learned about being remote developers. While both are currently employed as remote developers they have also worked in on-site jobs. This episode is a collection of things that might be different, things to expect, things that might be hard, and, of course, whether you need to wear pants.

This episode Ben and Phil are joined by Lee Tengum [of Pancake Payments], who has sold more apps than Phil and Ben have even thought of. [...] We got Lee on to share some of his success stories of building small, simple, useful products that do not try to be the next Facebook but make good money and help him keep his family in food, maple syrup and hockey gear. Making one application that sells for a bazillion dollars is fairly unlikely, so Lee tries to build “mortgage payments” instead, shipping early, iterating fast, bootstrapping the process and focusing on revenue from a very early point.
